When a person is arrested, the first thing that comes to mind is getting out of jail. There are a couple of ways that this can be accomplished, but a Jail Bail Bond Bartow County GA is by far the most popular. The bail is often a very large amount that must be paid in cash before a release can happen. Most people simply don’t have thousands of dollars sitting around to secure their release, so paying bail is just not a realistic option for many.
A “get out of jail free” option, known as own recognizance release, does exist, but it is exceedingly rare and difficult to procure. The only way that a person can hope to get an own recognizance release is to meet a series of very strict qualifications. First, the arrest must be for a misdemeanor charge. Next, the person arrested must have very strong ties to the local area and must be able to prove that they have lived and worked in the area for years. Finally, the own recognizance release is never even considered unless the jail is very over-crowded. If the jail is not bursting at the seams, there is no reason for them to even consider letting anyone go without paying bail.
Because bail is so hard to pay and own recognizance release is all but impossible to secure, the vast majority of people end up choosing a bail bond release. With this kind of release, far less money is needed. For example, if a bail has been set at $1000, it would only require a $100 payment to the bail bond in Bartow County GA to secure the release. The person who arranges the bail bond release needs to be a relative or a very close friend who is willing to sign a contract. This contract says that the person signing will make sure the person facing charges will go to their upcoming court dates. Once the court dates are over, there is no further money due to the bail bond agent. If you think that you may need Jail Bail Bond Bartow County GA, call Corntassel Bonding Co to find out more.
